Well, It's weird... my 32 charachter email address does not work at DivvyShot too! I reported the report, but no response. They accept 30 charachters only, but I see no reason for that!

I think it's so important to give your users the most wider options, so you never miss a user, specially when it comes to the signup page! Users won't wait for you.. they will just be pissed off and leave!

Personally, I make it 155 charchters in my databases... I lose nothing to do so! But I think that 90 charachters look so reasonable.

i see the reason for that:

django/contrib/auth/models.py: username = models.CharField(_('username'), max_length=30

fail. had to work around this before.

This is not the reason I am talking about! I mean: I see no "technical" reason!

Is it possible to change: max_length=30 to any other int? like 50 or 90? It's not good to have a system that lacks even the most simple things!
